Trivia

FILTER BY SEASON

Presumably because of when this show was made, Elsa never actually tells her husband that she was raped. It's just generally assumed when she says, "He killed me." This is possibly a reference to the Renaissance period, when people believed that during an orgasm, they lost some of their life force, or died a little. In french, the words "la petite mort" mean "the little death", and this is a popular slang term for an orgasm.

When Hurstwood hands the gun to Latimer he tells him, "You have seven shots in all." Latimer, however, fires the gun nine times - once into the fireplace and eight more times when he's alone in the room.

There is a continuity problem in this episode with the time of day of when everything occurs. For example, in the beginning of the episode, it seems that the murder and subsequent driving through the woods happens at night, as all is dark and the vehicle's headlights are on. However, as time goes on, the scenery and sky appears lighter, as like dusk. After the car's bulb is changed, a clip is shown of the car driving through a wooded area and the shadows are very long, as they are in the late afternoon or early evening, which would indicate it was earlier in the day.

The theme of a serial killer in this episode who whistles the same tune ("Greensleeves") preceding each murder is reminiscent of the killer in Fritz Lang's M, who whistles "In the Hall of the Mountain King" before he strikes.
